Landing on runway 15 at VTUW Nakhon Phanom Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 97.38 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at VTUW Nakhon Phanom Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 128.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 664 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a smooth touchdown and a perfect runway touchdown alignment.

The landing was made on runway 15, which has a length of 2,493 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 96 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth touchdown over achieving the exact target speed.

The touchdown distance of 256 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 90 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -141 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any harsh deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 153°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot. The total landing distance of 1,145 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good judgment and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The high score of 97.4% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in landing the Cessna CJ4 Citation at VTUW Nakhon Phanom Airport.
